President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has arrived in Kyiv, according to the BBC.
Von der Leyen stated that the main purpose of her visit is to discuss EU support for Ukraine's energy sector.
"My 8th visit to Kyiv comes as the heating season starts soon, and russia keeps targeting energy infrastructure", - she wrote on the social network X.
"I come here to discuss Europe’s support. From winter preparedness to defence, to accession and progress on the G7 loans", - von der Leyen noted.
Earlier, she announced that the EU would allocate €160 million to prepare Ukraine's energy sector for the winter. Prior to this, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned that the upcoming winter would be the most challenging for Ukraine in the three years of russia's invasion due to bombardments that have brought Ukraine's energy system to the brink of collapse.
